Infinity

A school of music that studies the rhythm of nature, a school of fashion that studies the elegance of the Universe, a school of design that studies the architecture of the ancients, a school of philosophy that studies the time-tested Truth.

you are not talking about INFINITY, you are talking about THE CONTINUUM; which is all infinite positive integers.

and if you are talking about INFINITY, then the dice are so infinite that they will have were never to be rolled, never are going to have been stopped rolling, and have such infinite numer of lack of sides that include such pips as

48ey4toijhcv9qhwe[fih4059rtjf039rhupqeonvf9whrg[nrg-wherv]onw[rt0igh

which makes the question poorly represented.

in your example, was there a time the dice were rolled for the -copper apple divided by red-orange minus a green cat howling on a sinking jet ski time? if so how is that possible? when you limited the model to one person sequentially rolling ten dice of six sides and infinite number of times, you began to quantify the variables, and thus made a transition to the Continuum (i.e. Perpetual infinity), and Absolute Infinity was crystallized to a expression of that level of linear sequential progression of whole numbers that Defines the nature of a porcess involving a repetitive motion.

Otherwise, the question you pose is nonsensical.

2% of infinity is ALSO AN IRREDUCIBLE EXPRESSION. it can not be statically solved byond that expression. but in perpetual infinity, it would be constantly recalcuated for the number of time at present the process had been repeated... thus it is a fluid number. In Perpetual infinity (which is applied to processes such a dice rolling) infinity is the variable given point of reference for the current repetition of the process . beyond that, it is useless.

here is a really good link on the nature of infinity as a workable concept for processes.

"Infinity" is a concept, not actually a number.

That means that infinity + 1 = infinity.


Going to infinity is like adding up to zero. I think that zero and infinity are two opposite representations of the same thing.

Pete, Infinity can be approached several ways, perpetual infinity is a means associated with a repetitive process.

(Thus "doing something and infinite number of times") = Perpetual infinity.

Life, the Universe, and Everything (including Death, The Void, and Nothing) = Absolute Infinity
